You'll need to be patient. It took me ages to find one at a sensible price in ebay. I found the best bet was to call anyone that was breaking an A8/S8 and ask if it had a tow bar. But you'll be very lucky to get all the wiring, as they'll just cut that at a convenient point.

I bought mine a few months ago (within the last 6 months) and got it as a result of phoning an ebay ad for 'breaking Audi A8' and asking if it had an original detachable tow bar.

Many breakers can't even be bothered to look, but I got lucky in the end.

I never did see one at a sensible price advertised as just the tow bar.

Good luck!

I'm STILL after one for the D3. I contacted every breaker on eBay with an A8, to no avail.

May just fit a non OEM (perish the thought) towbar and Audi loom at some point.

Westfalia supply Audi - d3 ones can be had easily from any of their dealers at reasonably sensible money. Nothing is listed for d2 now I rang round a while ago and couldn't find one NOS
